Nagios Nagios Installation support
1

Hey…

wonder if anyone can help me…

installed nagios v3.0b6 on CentOS 5 (SELinux Disabled) / Apache 2.0.61 (Uni:evil: mod_ssl/2.0.61 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 / php 5.2.4 /

after installing nagios I’m getting 500 errors (Internal Server Error) trying to access ANY of the .cgi’s

Apache error_log:
[Sat Nov 03 21:29:14 2007] [error] [client 216.40.38.232] Premature end of script headers: tac.cgi, referer: pgesystems.com/nagios/side.html

If you have something like this in the apache error_log:

[Tue Nov 06 14:54:17 2007] [notice] SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
[Tue Nov 06 14:54:17 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)

[Tue Nov 06 14:54:49 2007] [error] [client xxx.yyy.zzz.www] Premature end of script headers: tac.cgi, referer: srv.org/nagios/side.html

Its fixable by using the following command:

[root@srv logs]# chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/local/nagios/sbin

Sorry answered wrong question :slight_smile:

The command will however get rid of the bad access

premature end of script headers…

Be sure that permissions are set correctly on CGIs
Execute a CGI from the command line and see what happens
most commonly caused by a bad ftp in that there were transferred as binary rather than ASCII

Try ftping them to the host again and check the permissions. Then try to execute one from the command line. Post your results
